Clutter: a problem of competing philosophies

Words of wisdom from somewhere ended up in my email today…
The Minimalist says: “We already have one, so out it goes!”

The Miser says: “What if the first item breaks? We are trying to save money, so we’d be wasting money if we had to replace it.”The Martha Stewart says: “We could do something really cute and creative with it!”

The Charitable side says: “Let’s donate it to Goodwill!”

The Anxiety Side says: “What if we get rid of it and decide we needed it?”

The Organizer says: “We haven’t used it and forgot we even had it.”

The Procrastinator says: “Let’s put this aside and think about it later.”
